Lyngdorf High End Analog Input with RIAA input

Description

Overview

The High End Analog Input is an optional module for Lyngdorf’s TDAI integrated amplifiers, adding proper analogue connectivity — including a moving-magnet phono stage — to the amplifier’s module slot. It lets a turntable and other analogue sources join a Lyngdorf system without compromising the amplifier’s fully digital signal path.

Design & build

The module installs into the expansion slot of a compatible Lyngdorf amplifier, integrating cleanly with the host unit rather than sitting as a separate box. It is designed to support high-quality analogue sources, including vinyl, with a dedicated RIAA-equalised phono input alongside line-level connections.

Performance

The module provides a dedicated phono input with RIAA compensation for moving-magnet cartridges, so records are equalised correctly before entering the amplifier. Input sensitivity can be increased by up to 24dB, the first 6dB of which is handled through gold-plated relays to make full use of the headroom of the analogue-to-digital converter — keeping noise low and the signal clean.

Key features

Four analogue inputs in total: one phono (RIAA, moving magnet), two unbalanced RCA line inputs and one balanced XLR input. Up to 24dB of added sensitivity per input, with the initial 6dB via gold-plated relays. A neat, integrated way to add vinyl and balanced sources to a Lyngdorf amplifier.

Technology

The dedicated RIAA stage applies the correct phono equalisation for moving-magnet cartridges. Because the amplifier is fully digital, the module’s analogue signals are converted with care — the relay-based first gain step preserves the converter’s dynamic range, so quiet passages and fine detail survive the analogue-to-digital stage.

Specifications

Type: optional analogue input module for compatible Lyngdorf TDAI amplifiers. Inputs: 1 × phono (RIAA, moving magnet), 2 × unbalanced RCA line, 1 × balanced XLR. Adjustable input sensitivity: up to 24dB per input (first 6dB via gold-plated relays). Installs in the host amplifier’s module slot. Compatible with Lyngdorf TDAI models featuring the analogue module slot.

Who it’s for

The High End Analog Input is for the Lyngdorf owner who wants to add a turntable or balanced analogue source to their amplifier — keeping everything in one chassis rather than adding a separate phono stage, and retaining the amplifier’s room-corrected, digital signal path.
